Digital Raster Graphics
Entry ID:
drg
Summary
Abstract:
A digital raster graphic (DRG) is a scanned image of a U.S.
Geological Survey (USGS) topographic map. The scanned image includes all map collar information. The image inside the map neatline is georeferenced to the surface of the Earth. The DRG can be used to collect, review, and revise other digital data especially digital line graphs (DLG). When the DRG is ...  Purpose: The DRG is used for validating digital line graphs (DLGs) and for DLG data collection and revision. The DRG can help assess the completeness of digital data from other mapping agencies. It can also be used to produce "hybrid" products. These include combined DRGs and DOQs for revising and collecting digital data, DRGs and DEMs for creating shaded-relief DRGs and ...

Quality
The USGS DRG is produced with the intention of replicating as close as possible the original source map. Users of the DRG will note, however, that a certain amount of "noise" can be discerned when small areas are blown up or viewed under zoomed-in conditions. This noise is in the form of random specks or pixels of color and halos due to any number of factors, such as the quality of the source, the use of screen and patterns on the litho, and the unevenness of ink due to saturation and absorption. Discontinuities or breaks in linear features may also be present and are due to improper calibration or usage of the scanner,the condition of the source, and resampling.
